The Book of Disquiet (Penguin Classics)
DescriptionFernando Pessoa was many writers in one. The Portuguese author attributed his work to literary alter egos that he called "heteronyms," each of which had a fully developed identity. When Pessoa died, he left behind a trunk filled with disorderly scraps of unpublished poems and unfinished works, among which was The Book of Disquiet. Published for the first time some fifty years after his death, this unique collection of short, aphoristic paragraphs comprises the "autobiography" of Bernardo Soares, one of Pessoa's alternate selves. Part intimate diary, part prose poetry, part descriptive narrative, captivatingly translated by Richard Zenith, The Book of Disquiet is one of the greatest works of the twentieth century.Edited and Translated with an Introduction by Richard Zenith
A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe: Selected Poems (Penguin Classics)
DescriptionWriting obsessively in French, English, and Portuguese, Fernando Pessoa left a prodigious body of work, much of it under "heteronyms"—fully fleshed alter egos with startlingly different styles and points of view. Offering a unique sampling of all his most famous voices, this collection features poems that have never before been translated alongside many originally composed in English. In addition to such major works as "Maritime Ode of Campos" and his Goethe-inspired Faust, written in blank verse, there are several stunning poems that have only come to light in the last five years. Selected and translated by leading Pessoa scholar Richard Zenith, this is the finest introduction available to the breadth of Pessoa’s genius.
The Book of Disquiet (Serpent's Tail Classics)
Description"Readers with a particular interest in modernism will find this work indispensable."—Publishers Weekly "Pessoa's amazing personality is as beguiling and mysterious as his unique poetic output."—William Boyd A self-deprecating reflection on the sheer distance between the loftiness of feelings and the humdrum reality of life, The Book of Disquiet is a classic of existentialist literature. Fernando Pessoa, one of the founders of modernism, was born in Lisbon in 1888. Most of Pessoa's writing was not published during his lifetime: The Book of Disquiet was first published in Portugal in 1982.
The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa
DescriptionThe Washington Post Book World has written that Fernando Pessoa was "Portugal's greatest writer of the twentieth century [though] some critics would even leave off that last qualifying phrase" and "one of the most appealing European modernists, equal in command and range to his contemporaries Rilke and Mandelstam." The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa, a Los Angeles Times Best Book of 2001, spans playful philosophical inquiry, Platonic dialogue, and bitter intellectual scrapping between Pessoa and his many literary alter egos ("heteronyms"). The heteronyms launch movements and write manifestos, and one of them attempts to break up Pessoa's only known romantic relationship. Also included is a generous selection from Pessoa's masterpiece, The Book of Disquiet, freshly translated by Richard Zenith from newly discovered materials. The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa is an important record of a crucial part of the literary canon. "Zenith's selection is beautifully translated, compact while appropriately diverse." -- Benjamin Kunkel, Los Angeles Times "[Pessoa] is one of those writers as addictive, and endearing, as Borges and Calvino." -- Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Book World
Livro do Desassossego (Portuguese Edition)
DescriptionO Livro do Desassossego é uma das obras maiores de Fernando Pessoa. É assinado pelo semi-heterónimo Bernardo Soares. É um livro fragmentário, sempre em estudo por parte dos críticos pessoanos, tendo estes interpretações díspares sobre o modo de organizar o livro.Teresa Sobral Cunha considera que existem dois Livros do Desassossego. Segundo a estudiosa, que organizou em conjunto com Jacinto do Prado Coelho e Maria Aliete Galhoz a primeira edição do livro editada apenas em 1982, existem dois autores do livro: Vicente Guedes numa primeira fase (anos 10 e 20) e o já referido Bernardo Soares (final dos anos 20 e 30). Já António Quadros considera que a primeira fase do livro pertence a Pessoa. A segunda fase, mais pessoal e de índole da escrita de um diário, é a que pertence a Bernardo Soares.
